CREATE

 

Description: This function creates a new part in the DSI database.  The user must name the new part with any combination of up to eight alphanumeric characters.

 

Usage:

1.   DSI displays the PART DEFINITION window as below. See figure 9.3.2.

 

 

 

 

Figure 9.3.2 Part Definition Window

 

2.   The user edits the window to create the part.  If SECID, MID, EOSID, HGID, or TMID is selected, the user is prompted to edit another window for these properties before retuning to the PART DEFINITION window.  OK completes the part and returns the user to the PART CONTROL menu.

 

        Note: The new part is displayed as current.

 

Note: The materials and properties of a new part do not have to be defined at the time the part is created. The user may enter OK to bypass step 2 and enter the part's materials and properties at another time.
